Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, implantable materials have become the focus of intense research due to increased life expectancy and, thus, the need for the replacement of organs or tissues lost due to injuries and/or trauma. In this context, several types and models of implantable materials have been proposed and developed, which need studies regarding their behavior in vitro and in vivo. Thus, studies that analyze the characteristics, applicability, and predictability of these biomaterials are necessary and may help professionals in the area during the election of suitable rehabilitative materials to be used in each clinical situation.
The properties of biomaterials and scaffolds, such as pore structures, mechanical properties, and degradation, play an essential role in their successful implementation for tissue repair or regeneration. The analysis of their surface characteristics, like the topography, chemistry, or surface energy, also constitutes an essential part of the study of cell–material interactions and implant integration.
It is, therefore, my immense pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for the Special Issue “Advanced in Implantable Dental Materials” covering any aspect of the design, processing, or characterization of implantable dental materials, including in vitro and in vivo studies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
